All the ways bitcoin can be better for the environment, fiat currency could as well to be fair.
The reason VISA has such gnarly footprint is because it's existed through the invention phase of this 2nd instustrial revolution that is over.
BC was invented after the 2nd industrial revolution, so naturally it can get to "visa's" level without as much of a footprint.
But using the same theory traditional banking could get to bitconis potential decreased footprint just as easily.
Which is why it's arguable, because like bitcoin or crypto itself doesn't necessarily mean like, no carbon footprint.
There is so much more to it than like, "bitcoin is a magic cure all for all our problems!" or "it's worse for the environment than traditional banking!"
But I do think you're making a huge mistake by not putting 10% of your savings into it. Just setup a coinbase or robinhood account and drop some dollars into it every once and a while and you'll see!
